Ala. Admin. Code r. 335-6-5-.01
Section 403.10 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) provides that a state may administer its own pretreatment program for regulation of discharges of non-domestic wastewater into publicly owned treatment works within its jurisdiction. Such pretreatment program, however, must be comparable to the National Program. The Alabama Water Pollution Control Act (AWPCA) provides that the Department shall regulate and permit the discharge of sewage and industrial wastes entering a water of the state either directly or indirectly by passing through a publicly or privately owned treatment plant. It is the purpose of this Chapter to establish rules and procedures which will enable the state to administer a pretreatment program for this state and to enforce the provisions of the AWPCA.
